Remove TheAnswerFinder

TheAnswerFinder is first and foremost an unwanted program. Why? Because it installs itself into our computers in a deceitful way… It’s offered among many free software where its presence its hidden.

From the very first moment that it’s present in your computer, TheAnswerFinder will start showing ads, making it a true adware. This kind of software is funded by the ads they show, however some adwares have another so called “principal” function besides showing ads, but beware this function might just be an excuse.

For TheAnswerFinder the “helpful” part is supposed to be a way to answer every possible question you have, but it’s nothing more than a search engine installed as a plug-in or add-on either in Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer.

In conclusion we strongly advice against keeping TheAnswerFinder in your computer, if you notice it’s already in your computer make sure to get rid of it ASAP, nothing good will come up from it, only problems. Examples: browsing becomes slow because of the amount of annoying ads, plus it’s a real danger to your privacy.
